similar to: Moving ROOT_RAILS ?

People, I have done a few little RoR apps and have struggled to move them from the WeBrick development environment to a production environment - I have actually succeeded but what I have done seems clumsy so I must be missing some things, eg: In public/.htaccess RewriteBase /library In app/views/layout/*.rhtml change: <li><a href="/library">Home page</a>

People, I am using: before_filter :login_required in my Controllers and this works fine. For some tables I am happy to use the output of eg: ruby script/generate scaffold Author but is there some way that I can disable Create, Edit, Destroy for some user logins in the corresponding view?

People, I want to design a historical sports db for my old school. I think at the moment it should be like: A year has many teams A team has many students A student has one lastname, firstname and middlename but a student can also have many teams (eg summer/winter abd over a number of years) . . Is there a problem with this? Doesn''t it just mean that there will be a student table

People, In the cookbook eg, categories has_many recipes but in a book eg, book has_one description - doesn''t that mean that the id of the description should be the same as the id of the book (instead of having it''s own "description_id" in the book table?

People, I have an insurance company client and for the last eleven years I have wanted to completely redevelop their system from scratch. However, the boss has never been interested in hiring a team to develop the new system (partly because of the cost and partly because of some famous and expensive development failures in the industry) and has always insisted on incremental development of the

People, I have gone through the cookbook example: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html?page=1 and everything worked fine an a FC4/Postgres setup. I then tried to reproduce this success with something that would be useful to me - a library db using books & authors tables. The author list works but NOT the book list (unless I take line #17 out). I get this message:

People, I can use a DIV tag for exact positioning of fields on a form: Creating a DIV tag creates a layer. The DIV tag contains a style attribute with positioning information.

People, I am in a hurry to fill a programmer/developer position for an insurance company in Sydney, Australia.

If we can find someone appropriate I would like them to start

People, For my little book library db I find the rails script generated stuff fine for most of my needs but there is one thing I couldn''t figure out . . Part of the auto output of app/view/books/edit.rhtml is: <%= start_form_tag :action => ''update'', :id => @book %> <%= render :partial => ''form'' %> <%= submit_tag
